Approximately 45% of adults snore occasionally, and 25% snore regularly, with a higher prevalence in men and an increase among postmenopausal women due to hormonal changes. Snoring is a health concern linked to vascular disease and decreased quality of life for both snorers and their bed partners. Effective snoring treatment, which aims to reduce or eliminate the sound, is challenging and depends on factors like age, comorbidities, disease severity, and anatomical features. This review aims to provide a systematic overview of the current literature on the effects of positional therapy (PT) on snoring. Various devices facilitate PT, including anti-snoring pillows and vibration alarms. PT devices maintain head and neck alignment to keep airways open, while head of bed elevation (HOBE) solutions reduce upper airway collapses by elevating the head and trunk. Studies show that PT and HOBE reduce snoring by increasing airway cross-sectional area and decreasing closing pressure. Despite their benefits, these non-surgical treatments have limitations, such as discomfort in certain sleeping positions and intolerance to prolonged head elevation. While reducing snoring intensity is critical for health reasons, further comparative studies between the different devices are needed to enhance snoring management.
